This is easily made on the stove top. Pour milk into a sauce pan. Be sure to watch it carefully. Put the white chocolates, pumpkin puree, and sugar into the pot.

The trick here is to make sure the chocolates don’t stick to the bottom. Whisk often and be sure not to burn the hot chocolate. Whisking helps melt the white chocolate melting wafers as well.

Once it comes to a boil then lower heat immediately. Stir well until all chocolate is melted and pumpkin is dissolved. Then pour into the best pumpkin hot chocolate mug that you own.

After adding the pumpkin chocolate to the cup top it with whipped topping. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice then top it with cinnamon.

This can also be made in a crockpot on low. Add the ingredients to the crockpot and whisk every now and again until it’s all melted. Serve up the hot chocolate just the same.
